[Freeswitch-users] Frustrating and inconsistent log format !

[Anthony Minessale]

Hi,

Its not very nice to make demands to "the devs" like they are little elves
that work for you.
Have you no tact?  Aren't there 100 more polite ways to get your point
across?
You knew you were ranting because you said so.  That was your brain telling
you not to press send....

If you don't like uuids, you just open logfile.conf.xml and comment out the
uuid param.

Anything else you don't like, submit a pull request....
